Anton Kharitonov, an autistic boy, lives with his mother in a terrible apartment on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. The author meets his future hero shortly before his mother falls seriously ill. Now Anton himself is threatened by a boarding school for the mentally ill, where he will inevitably die, because people with such a diagnosis do not live there for a long time. The struggle for Anton every minute shortens the distance between the author and the hero. And there comes a moment when the author is forced to enter the frame ... The film was awarded the Golden Eagle Prize of the National Academy of Cinematographic Arts and Sciences of Russia - 2012 in the nomination of the Best Non-Fiction Film and the National Cinema Award "Nika" - 2012 in the nomination of the Best Non-Fiction Film.
